I have no clue what strategy should be employed. I assume it's
for easier communication when features are backported into stable
or distro kernels and users wonder what to expect or for easier
triage of bug reports or something?? Anyway, I don't really care,
the date just looked really odd. So feel free to only patch the
.date to 20140415 or whatever. I'll drop this patch.

Cheers,
Peter
